8.5 Event "XP Jäger" [UPDATE]

Update 04/30/2013: Due to previous confusion we've added the VK 30.02 (D) to this event as well.

Tankers!

To help welcome the latest addition of vehicles to the battlefield, we're hosting another of our immensely popular "Top 100" contests! Starting once the 8.5 Update goes live until16:59 PDT (19:59 EDT) on May 24, 2013, we'll be recording everyone's top XP scores. Those sitting in the "Top 100" for each of the new vehicles at the end of the event will earn themselves a nice chunk of change, and those sitting the the top three spots for each tank will earn themselves the Gold prize, a free tank, or a month of Premium!
